It goes away after 2-3 minutes though.

It is because when your hands are hanging down for so long (such as walking) the blood builds up in them, and so they become swollen. Think about standing on your head, that's what it is, only with your hands. Your not doing anything wrong, it happens to most of us.

It sounds like some poor circulation, or fluid build up. You might want to visit your local doctor, nothing worthy of the emergency room, I wouldn't say, unless it doesn't go away. The doctor will likely try to find the cause of it.

The blood rushes to your hands.. I think from swinging them around while walking. It happens to me too!

You have some excess pressure from swinging your arms. This is not unusual and can be prevented/reduced with some arm exercises as you walk.

use weights and keep your hand elevated above your waist. This will stop the numbness and also work some different muscles!

you might be dehydrated. Do you drink enough water while you are walking?
